PROPERTIES 
Black Pepper is a spice with stimulating properties, acting on the liver and stomach that increases the level of Glutathione (antioxidant, which blocks the formation of free radicals and protects the damage caused by them). It contributes to the stimulation of the digestive system.  White willow (Salix Alba), rich in salicylic acid, is very effective in increasing joint flexibility.

Also known to help in the treatment of inflammatory reactions, it is used to relieve headaches, muscle pain, acute pain, and chronic pain (back or cervical).

Rice bran serves as an anti-caking agent to lubricate the ingredients contained in a capsule and increase the consistency of the composition.

A bit of history...
Black pepper, the cradle of which is located in India, was used in the same country as a treatment for diseases of the respiratory system.
This spice was very popular among the Romans and Greeks before being replaced by round pepper from the fourteenth century.
Black pepper was one of the first spices to reach Europe. Today, it is a universally consumed spice.

Salix Alba or white willow is native to the European continent and grows in humid places.
In 3200 BC, we find the first mention of decoction of willow leaves, on Sumerian tablets.

In egyptian papyri, it is in 1550 BC that this mention will be discovered.
Used for 2500 years to overcome fever and joint pain, the Greek doctor, Hippocrates, already advised preparations from willow bark.

During the Middle Ages, Salix Alba was used to reduce vomiting and treat warts.
In 1828, the French pharmacist Leroux isolated the active ingredient in Willow: salicylin. By synthesizing this active substance, aspirin is obtained.
